Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are the handles made of?

The handles are made of metal and are chrome-plated.

What is the finish of these taps?

The finish is chrome-plated to BS EN 248 standards.

Are these taps suitable for a combi boiler system?

These taps are generally compatible with most plumbing systems, including those fed by combi boilers, provided the water pressure is adequate. It's advisable to confirm compatibility with your specific system if unsure.

How do I identify the hot and cold taps?

The taps are typically marked or designed to be installed on the left for hot and the right for cold, and the handles can be used to differentiate. Always refer to installation diagrams if provided.

Can these taps be installed on a standard sink?

These are wall-mounted bib taps, meaning they are designed to be installed directly into the wall behind the sink, not through the sink deck itself. Ensure your sink and wall configuration supports this type of installation.

What are the dimensions of the taps?

The product description notes dimensions of 50mm x 93mm, likely referring to the handle width and height or spout projection.

What is Bristan's Secure Fix system?

The Secure Fix system is Bristan's method for ensuring a firm and reliable installation of their taps, designed for ease of use by installers.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping after being turned off

Ensure the handles are fully tightened. If the dripping persists, the internal valve may require servicing or replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guide or a professional plumber.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the aerator (if applicable) or the water supply lines. Ensure water pressure from the mains is adequate. Sediment build-up can also cause reduced flow.

Difficulty turning handles

Handles may be stiff due to sediment. Try gently working the handles back and forth. If resistance continues, internal components may need lubrication or servicing.

Tap is loose on the wall

Check that the Secure Fix system is properly engaged and tightened according to the installation instructions. Ensure the wall mounting is sound.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and timeless cross-head design complements traditional decors.
  • Durable chrome-plated finish resists tarnishing and corrosion.
  • Secure Fix system simplifies installation process.
  • Metal handles offer a premium feel and long-lasting durability.
  • Suitable for various wall-mounted sink and basin applications.

Cons

  • Requires wall-mounting, limiting installation options compared to deck-mounted taps.
  • As bib taps, they are primarily for functional control rather than decorative spout features.
  • Specific compatibility with existing plumbing setups should be verified before purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires wall mounting. Ensure you have appropriate plumbing connections for hot and cold water supply to the tap positions. Follow the included instructions for the Secure Fix system to ensure a stable fit.

Compatibility: These are wall-mounted bib taps. They are designed to connect to standard UK plumbing systems. It is recommended to check that your water pressure is suitable for optimal performance. These taps are specifically model VAX BIB C 5412 and are silver/chrome in colour.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the taps with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
